It's a very, very surreal situation to find oneself in.
For much of the time since all this started emerging, I've just wanted an end point to it regardless of what that end point actually was. Through all the winding up petitions and adjournments, it became so stressful that the demise of the club felt like it wouldn't be such a big deal.
When the EFL suspended the MK Dons game, it was a hammer blow that I wasn't ready for. Despite financial crises coming with the regularity of the census form dropping onto the doormat, it was the first time this had happened and it reminded me of the moment in Threads when the bomb is dropped and the actor who isn't Reece Dinsdale says simply "Jesus Christ, they've done it".
Now, we simply go from day to day not knowing what on earth is going on. The financial web is far too labyrinthine for me to understand but the ultimate goal has to be for Steve Dale to sell the club and allow us to move on. This doesn't look like it will happen, much less before further sanctions from the EFL.

Next Tuesday's game against Rotherham is now off. The future doesn't look good for Bury.

I don't understand the death by a dozen cuts approach that the League is taking here.
When the club was given the latest 14 day period to present a credible plan, all of its fixtures during that period should have been cancelled. They could be rescheduled in the highly unlikely event that an acceptable plan was presented before the deadline, but this is just gratuitous violence.

Absolutely despicable. According to Wikipedia (on which I base my day to day accountancy, financial reporting and regulatory reporting decisions for a UK branch of an unspecified Spanish bank), Leeds City are the only club to have been expelled from the Football League...

Some of the more legal-eagley people from our Trust have been in touch with Bury's to offer help, though it does seem like there's loads to be done in a very short space of time. A forced administration would appear to be needed, but if the creditors are dodgy that's a big problem. Most of ours two years ago were pretty straight-up, so we had legal backing to represent them if needed.

I'm assuming you meant this Giggler:

I listened to half of it and it was hard listening.
I do have one question though - I thought football debts had to be paid in full when it came to agreeing CVAs - do player's wages not count?

Having just listened to that Talk Sport clip all I have is a feeling of over-whelming sadness for all sides. I can't really work out what's going on, who has or hasn't been paid but there is something odd for the Football League to suspend Bury but not Bolton.

Originally posted by Satchmo Distel View PostBolton are losing 5-0 and are on -11 points so it does seem a bit pointless having them in there.
But then again teams would lose 2 home fixtures were both clubs to be kicked out, almost 10% of their games. They might want compensation.
